A new ground-penetrating radar system that can determine the depth and position of a buried metal cylinder, which is the combination of an optical fiber sensor (OFS), continuous-wave transmitter, and optical communication link, is proposed and simulated in the MATLAB and Optiwave program packages. Employing an optical sensor instead of a standard radio frequency (RF) receiver offers the advantage of preventing electromagnetic interference along the sensor's main unit cable and lower amplification noise. In this paper, the electric field distribution at the OFS due to reflections from the soil surface and the buried object is obtained mathematically using Green's function. The OFS's detected electric signal is then simulated. The effects of the cylinder's depth and the RF transmitter frequency are observed. The plots of the OFS output voltages vs. the x-axis distance to the burial point display interference fringe patterns. The position and the depth of the cylinder are determined using the characteristics of these patterns. It is estimated that the burial depth can be ascertained with a maximum 5-cm error for a 1-GHz transmitter frequency.

Determination of depth and position of buried objects with optical fiber sensor integrated ground penetrating radar Bulur, Hatice Gonca (2012-07-09) A new Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system, which is a combination of Optical Fiber Sensor (OFS), GPR and optical communication link, is developed to determine the depth and the position of the buried circular cylinder. Optical Fiber Sensor offers the advantage of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) immunity and low amplification noise. In this study the electric field distribution at the OFS caused by the Continuous Radio Wave (CRW), which is transmitted from the GPR antenna, is obtained mathematically and...
Modelling and noise analysis of closed-loop capacitive sigma-delta mems accelerometer Boğa, Biter; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) This thesis presents a detailed SIMULINK model for a conventional capacitive Σ-Δ accelerometer system consisting of a MEMS accelerometer, closed-loop readout electronics, and signal processing units (e.g. decimation filters). By using this model, it is possible to estimate the performance of the full accelerometer system including individual noise components, operation range, open loop sensitivity, scale factor, etc. The developed model has been verified through test results using a capacitive MEMS accelero...
Design of a dual polarized low profile antenna for microwave brain imaging Üçel, Kaan; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-9) In this thesis, a low profile, low cost, wide band (0.9-2GHz) dual linearly polarized printed dipole antenna is designed to be used in microwave brain imaging systems. Dual polarization feature offers superior data acquisition through polarization diversity for better image quality. Starting from a simple printed dipole, antenna structure is modified step by step to meet these design requirements. Since a conductive surface in close vicinity of the antenna affects antenna performance, in order to obtain uni...
Performance of M-ary pulse position modulation for aeronautical uplink communications in an atmospheric turbulent medium Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner (The Optical Society, 2019-10-01) This paper discusses the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an aeronautical uplink optical wireless communication system (OWCS) when a Gaussian beam is employed and the M-ary pulse position modulation technique is used in an atmospheric turbulent medium. Weak turbulence conditions and log-normal distribution are utilized. The Gaussian beam is assumed to propagate on a slant path, the transmitter being ground-based, and the airborne receiver is on-axis positioned. Variations of BER are obtained against the ...
Numerical analysis of radio frequency inductively coupled ion thruster and computation of its performance parameters Bozkurt, Erdal; Alemdaroğlu, Nafiz.; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The main goal of this thesis is geometric and parametric analysis of a simulated cylin-drical two-gridded Radio Frequency Inductively Coupled (RF-ICP) ion thruster. Inaddition, instrumental performance of this thruster and the effects of a fixed shapeof the electrodes on ion trajectories are investigated.
